“You have to deconstruct the narrative that’s been built around Venezuela,” Da Silva said. During the conference, Da Silva said he supports Venezuela’s entry into the BRICS group. The Brazilian president also said that South America must be convinced of the need to work as a bloc in the international arena. Maduro announced he will propose that South American leaders take positions as a region and call on the United States to lift sanctions against his country. Da Silva called the US sanctions “extremely exaggerated.”“It’s irrational that a country is subject to 900 sanctions just because another country doesn’t like them,” he said.
